While I would never condone cruelty to animals, we can all do our part in our own way...whether we become vegetarians, or eat only grass fed beef, or keep our own chickens...and so on. I also think doing our part by helping artisans with their craft - not a big thing, but over time, it honors the craft, the artist, and helps educate others when the comment on something we have bought from an artist, vs a big box store. I always enjoy your comments.<br /><br />Big hug<br />elizabethElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-80299559771983537652014-06-26T18:54:27.902-05:002014-06-26T18:54:27.902-05:00Hi Dawn

I LOVE your shirt idea for the slipcover - how clever and lovely! And yes, I would love to learn how to make candles and hang them on the cart as well! I have used the care to hang my vintage lace trims, ribbons, and pieces when doing a project. When you wrote about the men's shirt, I thought you were going to say you wore them, and then I was going to write you back about men's underwear and how comfy they can be - but since you had such a lovely decorating idea with the shirt, and my underwear story isn't nearly as pretty - I will pass on the story. May be TMI....or maybe another story for another time.<br /><br />I think you are fab.<br />Lots of hugs<br /><br />ElizabethElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-37157506184141651042014-06-26T18:37:31.128-05:002014-06-26T18:37:31.128-05:00Thank you Kim for visiting me.

I too love the vintage and tattered and am rapidly getting to a place in my life where I know that the beauty my soul craves is worth what I need to do to nourish it.

But I think I'd like a messenger bag of my very own as well. I'm putting it on my wish list. I think it would be perfect for a day of junking in Warrenton or the field in Brimfield.

My aunt used to call me and my two siblings the 'potato children'. We could easily be satisfied with meat and potatoes! Oh, and I love your vintage cart too and how you use it. I'm working on a post featuring vintage carts, so I'll definitely share it there (if OK with you, of course). How long do you dry your herbs, by the way . . . and how long do they last when they're dried? Lastly, I love your purse! I love big bags as I'm ready for allergy episodes, beauty touch-ups, reading, note-taking, measurements, calculations, and photo ops everywhere I go! I will definitely check out Novica when it comes time to buy Christmas presents this year. Oh! and here’s my pin: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/80150068343985752/.Kim Gaynorhttp://livingvintageco.com/noreply@blogger.com
